61 vector to gif

Creating animated GIF from vector data

Inspired by Johannes Uhl's shapefile2gif, I created a vector_to_gif() function in leafmap that makes it much easier to create animated GIF from vector data with only one line of code.

Uncomment the following line to install leafmap if needed.

In [1]:

# !pip install -U leafmap

# !pip install -U leafmap

In [2]:

import leafmap

import leafmap

In [3]:

data = 'https://github.com/giswqs/data/raw/main/us/boulder_buildings.zip'

data = 'https://github.com/giswqs/data/raw/main/us/boulder_buildings.zip'

In [4]:

m = leafmap.Map(center=[39.9898, -105.2532], zoom=14)
m.add_vector(data, layer_name='Buildings')
m

m = leafmap.Map(center=[39.9898, -105.2532], zoom=14) m.add_vector(data, layer_name='Buildings') m

Out[4]:

In [5]:

out_gif = 'buildings.gif'
colname = 'year_built'
title = 'Building Evolution in Boulder, Colorado, USA (1950-2015)'

out_gif = 'buildings.gif' colname = 'year_built' title = 'Building Evolution in Boulder, Colorado, USA (1950-2015)'

In [6]:

leafmap.vector_to_gif(
    data,
    out_gif,
    colname,
    vmin=1950,
    vmax=2015,
    step=10,
    facecolor='black',
    figsize=(10, 8),
    title=title,
    xy=('1%', '1%'),
    fontsize=20,
    progress_bar_color='blue',
    progress_bar_height=10,
    dpi=300,
    fps=10,
    mp4=False,
    verbose=True,
)

leafmap.vector_to_gif( data, out_gif, colname, vmin=1950, vmax=2015, step=10, facecolor='black', figsize=(10, 8), title=title, xy=('1%', '1%'), fontsize=20, progress_bar_color='blue', progress_bar_height=10, dpi=300, fps=10, mp4=False, verbose=True, )

Processing 3/8: 1970...
Processing 4/8: 1980...
Processing 5/8: 1990...

Done. The GIF is saved to buildings.gif.
